Doughnuts

This is the original crisco doughnuts recipe. I found it in an ad in the october 1916 issue of american cookery. Cooking time is per doughnut.

Cream sugar and shortening together.

Add beaten eggs.

Mix and sift dry ingredients.

Add alternately with milk to the first mixture.

Mixture should be very soft.

Form into a ball , place on a well floured board and roll to one-half inch thickness.

Cut and fry in hot oil.
